Actually, B & N currently says "A new copy is not available from Barnes
& Noble.com at this time." I contacted my distributor, and they said
that this is probably related to Christmas. One problem is that the book
is non-returnable, so that both Amazon and B & N do not keep copies of
the book. (The book is non-returnable because it is too expensive to
send returned books to Brazil...)  I hope after Christmas things will
get back to normal.

Thank you!!! Wouldn't you like to write a short review at Amazon?
We need all kind of help we can get to promote the book.

The prospects of the "Rio" version are not very clear yet. I contacted
some printers, but it is too expensive to print a short run. (Anyway,
they won't be available in the next 3 weeks...)
